<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My wife is never more puzzled than when I ask for reloading equipment for Christmas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou want a what?\u201d <\/em>is\nusually the first question, followed by, \u201cAre you sure?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your relatives might not know the difference between wet and\ndry tumbling, or the benefits of a carbide sizer die, but that doesn\u2019t mean you\nshould leave reloading supplies off your list to Santa. Now, I can\u2019t help you\nexplain to your grandma how an overall length gauge works, but I can tell you\nwhat I\u2019m asking for this year, so at least we can confuse our relatives together.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below are my top six reloading items for Christmas of 2019. I haven\u2019t used all these products myself (comment if you have!), but I\u2019m intrigued by each of them, and I think you will be, too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shell Shock NAS(3) 9mm Cases<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Reload<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ll start with something a bit off the beaten path. Shell Shock constructs their NAS(3) two-piece 9mm cases by marrying a nickel-plated aircraft-grade aluminum base with a nickel-alloy stainless cylinder (hence, \u201cNAS\u201d). Shell Shock claims this all-nickel-alloy construction promises significant advantages over all-brass and nickel-plated brass cases. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Per their website<\/a>, NAS(3) cases are 50% lighter than brass cases, offer greater lubricity and will not abrade, clog, foul, wear-out or damage breach and ejector mechanisms. The cases offer greater corrosion resistance, higher tensile strength (2x stronger) and more elasticity than brass. They eject cool to-the-touch, can be picked up with a magnet, and will not split, chip, crack or stretch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The downside? You can\u2019t use your current reloading dies. The nickel alloy used in Shell Shock\u2019s cases has a higher tensile strength than brass, so you\u2019ll need to purchase a set of their dies for $99.99<\/a>. Shell Shock\u2019s dies will<\/em> work with brass cases, though, which means you\u2019re not purchasing a set of dies you can only use with one type of case. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The price is lower than I expected: $60 for 500 unprimed cases. You can definitely find cheaper 9mm brass, but you can also find premium products for even more per unit<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

MSRP: $0.12\/case \u2013 $0.085\/case<\/p>\n\n\n\n

RCBS Pro Chucker 5 Progressive Reloading Press<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Reload<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I got into reloading to make my own precision rifle ammunition, but I recently started loading 9mm to blow off steam at the end of the day. I find the repetition relaxing, but good grief\u2026 it\u2019s tough to get through as many as I\u2019d like in the hour between putting the kids to bed and watching the next episode of Downtown Abbey<\/em> (I mean, uh, The Sopranos<\/em>). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why I\u2019ve had my eye on the RCBS Pro Chucker 5\nProgressive Reloading Press. The Pro Chucker 5 promises 600 rounds per hour for\npistol ammunition and features a quick-change die plate to allow for fast\ncaliber change. The powder measure can be drained without removing it from the\npress and the preset metering screws can be swapped out to dispense new powder.\nThe Pro Chucker 5 can also be converted to seven-stage operation if you find\nyourself wanting to seat and crimp bullets in separate steps, among other\noptions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve owned a Rock Chucker single-stage press since I started\nreloading, and it\u2019s been as solid as its name suggests. I have no doubt its\nprogressive older brother will be just as reliable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

MSRP: $599.99<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Forster 6.5 Creedmoor Bench Rest Die Set<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Reload<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I made the switch from 308 Win. to 6.5 Creedmoor this summer when I tested and reviewed<\/a> Howa\u2019s 1500 KRG Bravo, and I\u2019m excited to start reloading for this already-accurate rifle. Many companies offer high-quality reloading dies for the 6.5 Creedmoor, but I\u2019m planning to give Forster a try. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Forster\u2019s Bench Rest Die Set comes with a Full Length Sizing\nDie and a Seater Die. The Sizing Die features an elevated expander ball. The\nexpander ball begins neck expansion while the neck is still supported by the sizing\nportion of the die chamber, which ensures better case concentricity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Seater Die uses a sliding die chamber that holds the\ncase, the bullet, and the seating stem all in perfect alignment. Rather than support\njust the bullet and case neck, Forster\u2019s system supports the entire outside\ndiameter of the sized case. The result? Better bullet concentricity and more\nconsistent, accurate cartridges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MSRP: $132.00<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Hornady Precision Measurement Station<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Reload<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If your reloading bench is anything like mine, you\u2019re running out of space. One option is to get a bigger bench, but if you reload in a crappy shed in the back yard (like me) that isn\u2019t an option. It would be nice to consolidate a few of the measuring tools used to load precision rifle cartridges, which is exactly what Hornady had in mind with the Precision Measurement Station. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While for some reason it gives me an Easy-Bake-Oven-for-Men\nvibe, I\u2019m still intrigued. One tool, six measurements: bullet base to o-give\nlocation; headspace location; overall case length; cartridge base to o-give\nlocation; bullet runout; and case neck runout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The eight-pound base and adjustable rubberized feet keep the\nstation from moving during measurements, and the accessory mount stores and\norganizes the included five headspace bushings and seven bullet containment\ncomparators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you organize your cases and bullets based on the\nmeasurements above, this tool will no doubt save both time and space. I would\nhave liked to see a neck wall thickness gauge as well, but I imagine Hornady will\ninclude that as add-on option down the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

MSRP: Not Posted. Available Soon at Midway USA for $253.99<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cShot Marker\u201d from AutoTrickler<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Reload<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This isn\u2019t reloading equipment, per se, but the Shot Marker from AutoTrickler looks like an amazing tool for facilitating data collection at long distances. The Shot Marker uses eight audio sensors to track the impact point and velocity of any projectile travelling faster than the speed of sound (1125 fps). That means shooters can track group sizes out to about 1400 yards with a 6.5 Creedmoor and about 900 yards with a 308 Win. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The audio sensors connect with a Sensor Hub at each target, which communicates with the Access Point at the firing line. The sensors use LoRa, a low frequency RF protocol, which, unlike Wifi, works at over 2 miles and can connect even without direct line of sight. The Sensor Hub will run for over 100 hours on its internal battery and only needs recharging once every few weeks. All components are waterproof and can be left outside 24\/7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At\nthe firing line, the Access Point can be connected with smartphone or tablet\ndevices to display shot markers and measure group sizes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shot\nMarker\u2019s inventor, Adam MacDonald, is a Canadian software and electronics developer\nwho won the Canadian F-class championship in 2018. I had the chance to review\nhis Two-Box Chronograph<\/a> earlier this year, which worked flawlessly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\nShot Marker isn\u2019t cheap, but if your shooting group or range wants to make a\njoint investment, I think this would be worth it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MSRP: $799<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lyman Pro-Touch 1500 Electronic Reloading Scale<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Reload<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve used an RCBS beam scale exclusively since I started reloading, but I\u2019m thinking about going digital. Digital scales remove the error inherent in reading beam scales (is the line really <\/em>lined up with the arrow?) and save your eyes from squinting. They\u2019re also less affected by wind, which will allow me to keep the windows open in the aforementioned non-climate-controlled shed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Digital scales can be had at all price points, but this\nLyman looks like a nice middle of the road option. It\u2019s reasonably priced, accurate\nto 0.1 grain, and boasts a 1500 grain capacity. The readout appears to be large\nenough for my terrible vision, and it comes with a double-spout powder pan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The knock on digital scales has always revolved around trusting\nelectronic circuity rather than God-given gravity. The Pro-Touch can help put\nyour mind at ease with an included calibration weight, but it\u2019s still a good\nidea to conduct extensive testing before forging ahead with your next 500\nprecision rifle rounds. Many of these smaller scales need a warm-up period\nbefore they\u2019re performing at peak accuracy, and sometimes they\u2019re affected by\nsurrounding electronic circuitry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Still, this unit has been well-reviewed, so I\u2019m prepared to\ngive it a shot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

MSRP: $99.95<\/p>\n\n\n\n
